The Shadow in Her Spare Room: A Steamy Sapphic Monster Romance

The woman hiding in June Marlow's spare room has no eyes. No mouth. And absolutely no business making her heart race.

Thirty-six-year-old theatrical lighting designer June Marlow has returned to Vesper to sort through her late mother's house. She's expecting grief, dust, and a lifetime of unfinished projects.

She's not expecting the shadow of a very tall woman standing against the wall of her mother's sewing studio.

Selyth isn't a ghost. She's a Vey—a living, intelligent shadow-born woman who has spent 170 years learning that trusting humans can be dangerous.

And she's running from people who would rather see her destroyed than free.

When June discovers that ordinary white light can tear Sel apart, she does what any good lighting designer would do: she changes the lighting.

Warm amber lamps. Carefully measured shadows. A place where Sel can finally breathe.

Then Sel steps out of the wall.

She's enormous, beautiful in ways no human should be, and possessed of an unnervingly intimate understanding of what June's body wants.

What begins as shelter becomes a dangerous, deeply sensual attraction neither woman knows how to resist.

But Vesper's new public-safety lighting system isn't merely making the streets brighter. Someone is using it to hunt the shadow-born—and the corporation behind it has plans far more terrifying than June realizes.

To save Sel, June may have to expose a conspiracy powerful enough to control the entire city.

And Sel must decide whether loving a human is worth risking the freedom she nearly died to reclaim.

A steamy sapphic paranormal monster romance featuring a human/nonhuman love story, forced proximity, extraordinary physical chemistry, found family, corporate conspiracy, and a deeply satisfying happily-ever-after.
